Adventure In The Forest

It dawned.

The sun was leaving

Its heavenly bedroom.

Mighty hunter Agya

Returned to the home.

He hunted in vain

All night in the forest.

Tired and disappointed,

Near the old cedar-tree

Agya noticed

Some strange creature of the underworld

Who looked like a hairless horned ape

With bat wings.

Horror embraced his heart.

His body began to tremble.

With big difficulty

He shot with arrow

The creature.

It thundered.

Strong wind

Began to blow.

Unearthly laughter

Was heard in the air.

The dying creature

Said to the hunter:

“You are killing me now.

But I will be alive again.

I will come into your dreams

And your soul will feel

Hellish torments.”

Agya came to his village.

A touch of death was seen

In his eyes.
